One of the best parts of this hobby is having options—especially when it comes to how your RC monster truck grips the ground. The Arrma Notorious 6S is an impressive stunt machine built to handle big air, hard landings, and all kinds of terrain. That versatility makes tire choice a serious performance factor. Swapping to a set of tires tailored to your surface can completely change the feel of the truck, from high-traction launches to wild, dirt-churning power slides. To help you get the most out of this beast, we’ve gathered 10 outstanding Pro-Line tires for the Arrma Notorious that can transform it into exactly the kind of monster you want it to be—whether you’re tearing up grass, carving through pavement, or shredding sand.

About the Arrma Notorious 6S

Arrma’s Notorious 6S BLX is a 1/8-scale, 4WD brushless stunt truck that takes bashing to an extreme level. Known for its retro 1950s body design and distinctive “Real Steel” effect, every scratch and scrape adds character rather than detracting from its looks. Beneath that body, the truck’s Extreme Bash (EXB) components—like a 7075 T6 aluminum chassis plate, 29mm heavy-duty differentials, and a reinforced wing mount—ensure it can handle everything from backflips to long wheelies and hard landings.

Power comes from a 6S-capable Spektrum Firma brushless system, pairing a 2050Kv motor with a Smart V2 150A ESC for blistering speeds exceeding 60 mph on a 6S LiPo. Even less experienced drivers can dial back the excitement thanks to the SLT3 transmitter’s throttle limiter when running 4S power.
Stock, the Notorious rolls on oil-filled shocks and multi-terrain dBoots BACKFLIP tires that perform well across dirt, asphalt, and grass. But if you’re ready to fine-tune its grip for specialized surfaces—or just want to push performance further—Pro-Line’s tire lineup gives you plenty of ways to do it.

Badlands Tires

Pro-Line’s Badlands family is legendary, and there are three distinct versions available for the Notorious: the original Badlands, the Badlands MX38, and the Badlands MX38 HP Belted. Inspired by motocross tread technology, these tires are built for serious traction and aggression. Oversized lugs claw into dirt and grass, delivering that raw, roost-throwing grip that makes your truck feel unstoppable.

The standard Badlands kicked off the line with classic all-terrain versatility and durability. Then came the Badlands MX38, turning things up with a larger, bolder, more modern motocross-style tread pattern. The MX38’s massive knobs excel in loose dirt, mud, and grass—perfect for bashers who love digging trenches and launching big rooster tails.

For drivers who crave high-speed control, the Badlands MX38 HP Belted version adds a precision-molded internal belt in a herringbone weave. This belt keeps the tire from ballooning under acceleration, maintaining shape and grip even at top speed. Without it, unbelted tires can nearly double in diameter at high RPMs, making control tricky. The Badlands MX38 HP Belted tires measure 3.48 inches wide and 6.8 inches tall, using Pro-Line’s trusted soft M2 compound for top-tier traction and a motocross-inspired bite.

10 Outstanding Pro-Line Tires For The Arrma Notorious — Badlands—#PRO117810

Trencher Tires

If you want sheer bashing toughness, the Trencher series delivers in spades. Recognizable by their aggressive horizontal H-shaped tread blocks, Pro-Line’s Trenchers dig hard and last long. Like the Badlands, there are three variations designed to fit different driving styles.

The Trencher LP is a low-profile option measuring 2.96 inches wide by 5.6 inches tall. It’s lighter and nimbler, making it a great fit if you want a responsive setup that still delivers strong bite. Soft foam inserts and Pro-Line’s M2 compound round out this tire’s well-balanced performance.

Step up to the Trencher X, and you’re looking at a bigger, beefier tire at 4.15 inches wide and 6.5 inches tall. The taller tread blocks—about a quarter-inch deep—add to both durability and traction. These tires are a go-to for hard-hitting bashers looking to dominate in loose dirt, gravel, and grass while still maintaining great side-to-side stability.

Finally, the Trencher HP Belted version combines everything you love about the Trencher tread with high-performance belting technology. An internal herringbone-pattern belt prevents ballooning at high speed, giving you razor-sharp control when unleashing all that 6S power. This is arguably the ultimate basher tire for the Notorious—huge grip, predictable handling, and a tread design proven to take abuse on nearly any surface.

Menace HP Belted—#PRO1020610

If you’re more into full-throttle, high-speed runs on pavement or hard-packed surfaces, the Menace HP Belted tires are your weapon of choice. Designed to harness the raw torque of the Notorious’ Spektrum brushless system, these low-profile tires stay perfectly planted thanks to their internal belts. Deep grooves and a long-wearing rubber compound give you crisp steering and confident control at speed.

Inside, dense foam inserts provide additional support to the tire carcass, keeping everything consistent under load. The race-inspired tread delivers excellent straight-line traction and predictable cornering, transforming your big stunt truck into a legitimate street missile.

Street Fighter HP Belted—#PRO1016710

For pure street performance, Pro-Line’s Street Fighter HP Belted tires take things even further. Sharing the same belted construction as the Menace HPs, they use a high-performance herringbone weave inside to prevent expansion, allowing your truck to stay stable and planted even during 60+ mph runs.

The Street Fighters are molded in Pro-Line’s soft M2 compound with aggressive, road-optimized grooves for maximum bite. Measuring 3.11 inches wide and 6.22 inches tall, these tires are purpose-built to fit the latest generation of 1/8-scale monster trucks like the Notorious 6S. If you’ve ever fought ballooning tires at high RPMs, these will make you wonder how you ever drove without them.

Dumont—#PRO1019210

If your playground of choice is sand or snow, the Dumont tires are pure magic. With massive offset V-shaped paddles, these are built to throw roost like nothing else. Every throttle hit digs deep, sending sand flying and propelling your Notorious forward with authority.

Pro-Line designed the Dumonts from scratch using the latest paddle tire tech, while adding slick styling touches like molded “P-L” logos. The name comes from California’s famous Dumont Dunes—a fitting tribute, since these tires feel right at home blasting over dunes or tearing through fresh powder.

Sand Paw HP Belted—#PRO1026810

Take the concept of the Dumont a step further and you get the Sand Paw HP Belted tires. Designed for high-speed runs through loose terrain, these are Pro-Line’s answer for drivers who demand both traction and stability when things get soft and slippery.

Like other HP-series tires, the Sand Paws feature a built-in herringbone belt that keeps them from ballooning under power. The reinforced split-paddle tread, inspired by full-size sand drag tires, delivers incredible forward thrust and consistent performance. They’re a bit of a specialty item—but if your bash sessions include dunes, beaches, or snowfields, they’re worth every penny.

Pro-Line Raid 3.8” Wheels

Every Pro-Line tire listed here comes pre-mounted on Pro-Line’s durable 3.8-inch Raid wheels, so they’re ready to run straight out of the package (each set includes two wheels and tires). What makes the Raid design stand out is its removable 17mm hex system—Pro-Line’s clever 8×32 interlocking hex secured with eight M3 screws. If a hex ever strips or cracks, you can simply replace it without tossing the whole wheel. Replacement hex sets are sold separately (#PRO634500).

The wheels themselves are molded from ultra-tough DuPont nylon to withstand the kind of punishment that big 6S bashers dish out. The 10-spoke styling mimics real off-road racing wheels, finished in a stealthy black that complements any body color.

All of the tires covered in this article are designed to fit either the front or rear of the Arrma Notorious, using a standard 3.8-inch wheel diameter and 17mm hex fitment. No matter your terrain or driving style, Pro-Line’s lineup ensures your Notorious can hook up, blast hard, and look amazing doing it.
